hi michelle

nice to meet you, i am also new here, just joined in today!

am sure that having a small child must be very difficult when trying to lose weight, ive seen other people around me, but am sure you can do it!

i also need motivation so i have we can both motivate each other.

i am 18 and i weight 140 pounts and my height is 5'2

first of all: if you really want to snack, then snack on healthy foods, like a piece of fruit and or a vegatable (i know that vegetables are gross, believe me i HATE all kinds of vegetables) but baby carrots are kinda tasty, or so i heard.

2nd of all: to motivate yourself, why not buy a dress, shirt, or jeans that are like 2 sizes smaller and everytime you don't want to exercise or just want to give up, look at them and tell youself "one day, i WILL wear those cute pairs of ---" that's what i did actually, i bought 2 really cute shirts, so i look at them and am motivated enought to start running on the treadmill! xD

3rd of all: this might be stupid, but to motivate myself i watch the biggest loser, lol, idk why but i see how people struggle in there, and it makes me really sad, and i ask myself "do i really want to be there one day...."

4rd of all: think about your beautiful little girl, look at her, and tell yourself that you're not doing this just for yourself but because of her, am sure she wants to have a happy and awesome mom! ^^

well, i hope i motivated you...which am trying to do for myself as well, because i have really low self-esteem and ive gone through many things in school and life because of my weight, and am about ready to change that, i want to be happy everytime i look in the mirror! =]
